My fiancé and I are always open to trying different dishes from other cultures, we’re pleased with this place. I love Mediterranean style food. Its delicious, filling and refreshing! Our waiter was welcoming and sweet. They even had an interesting set up of snacks and other grocery items.

So we went to the Iftar buffet today, and OMG it was delicious and yummy ? It had wide variety of options. The owner and the workers there are super friendly ?Note: They do buffets only on the weekends of Ramadan.

This is the BEST Mediterranean food I have ever had. I'm vegan, and the appetizer combo/sampler was vegan (and I believe their Lentil soup is also vegan). If you come here make sure you are not in a rush. If you are patient and don't expect speedy service, then you will not be disappointed. Every single item on the sampler was amazing, although we did not try the stuffed grape leaves and instead ordered an additional side of the dill potato salad. All of the food we had was amazing and I am excited to stop here again when I am in the area again. My favorites were the spicy eggplant and jalapeno, hummus, and baba ghanoush. They also have a grocery store and hookah bar inside! Great atmosphere and the owners are super accommodating and answered all my questions.Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options (appetizer sampler, hummus, baba ghanoush, lentil soup, spicy eggplant and jalapeno, stuffed grape leaves)

Giving 5 stars because this food was incredible. We got the 5 meat combo so we could try everything, and WOW. Every. Single. Thing. Was. Delicious. This is the place you want legit authentic Mediterranean.The tea was the real deal—loose leaf with strainer and fresh mint, served in a small kettle at the table with lovely porcelain cup.Just double check when you order if you are getting the dish as an entree (with rice) or as a gyro/sandwich.

The food is amazing and they are very friendly it's like a grocery store resteraunt and hookah place. It is amazing the place the food and the company I will always highly suggest and the price really isn't bad either.Dietary restrictions: It's got all different t options like you can't have fish have a gyro instead it's I think lamb can't have beans have the lentils can't have eggs have stew its amazing.Parking: There is over 10 different spots right in front of the resteraunt and parking spots in front of those parking spots really plenty of space.Kid-friendliness: They even had a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: My dad is wheelchair bound and he got in and was accommodated immediately chair's where moved and everything.

My husband and I ate at Tabooleh tonight. This is a combination store and restaurant specializing in authentic Mediterranean food. The manager and wait staff are very responsive and helpful. The restaurant seating is in the back. Guests walk through the store to get to the restaurant seating. The dining area is large with plenty of booths, tables and chairs. They can easily accommodate large groups. The tables have attractive decorative table clothes. A very large flat screen TV' was unfortunately turned on, playing an old James Garner, Rockford Files TV series from the 1980's. It would have been better if the sound had been muted. We ordered chicken swarma, grilled vegetables, chicken soup, pita bread and one lamb kabob. The soup was delicious! Very flavorful. The pita bread was warm, fluffy and very tasty. The grilled vegetables were very good except for the eggplant, which was a little tough. My favorites were the mushrooms, peppers, and zucchini. The chicken swarma was good, but a little dry. It needed more broth/ sauce. The rice was very good. The serving sizes were ample/ on the large size. The baklava looked tempting, but we were full. We are from out of town, but if we lived nearby we would frequent the restaurant for take out. The food is over all very goo The store, while interesting, is a little distracting. It probably needs a wall to separate the restaurant from the store.
